Well, then disregard what I said. What I wrote was the opinion from an end-user/page-reader perspective, not from the person who'll handle tweak the styling.

I wouldn't be able to tell, not being native myself (I'm Algerian).

Pardon me, but have you looked at this https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API http://blog.ycombinator.com/hacker-news-api http://blog.ycombinator.com/hacker-news-api ? I'm sure you are aware Reddit has an API. Again, I'm sorry for failing to see what's the very particular problem to be solved, not being a developer and all.
- franciscop 10y agoThey have APIs that other developers can use to build things, but not for embedding content into the pages itself (I haven't searched so much about Reddit but I have about HN). So basically these libraries are for pulling data, not for pulling functionality. In fact I am using one of them, Algolia on the back-end to pull the data. For truly embed it we'd need for HN to provide this functionality with some Javascript library/iframe/other, which they currently don't do.
